GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 82412
Shift-tab entries in xmodmap files should map to ISO_Left_Tab
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
GTK+ assumes that pressing Shift-Tab will produce an ISO_Left_Tab keysym. However, the xmodmap files provided with GKB do not do this. So whenever you switch keymaps, you cannot longer use Shift-Tab to change focus in GTK+ applications.
CCing the GTK+ people. Maybe the GKB keymaps should issue ISO_Left_Tab when you press Shift-Tab, but shouldn't GTK+ handle the case where the generated keysym is Tab with state 1? [Is there any sort of standard to X keymaps?]
Basically looks like a dup of bug 82412 to me. (Though adding ISO_Left_Tab as <shift>Tab to the gkb keyboard maps wouldn't hurt.)
CC'ing the gkb author. Owen: Which bug? Indeed I agree that this bug is a duplicate of itsself ;)
bug 73423
Closing because we no longer use GKB. Hooray.
